Lidl invests €8 million in new store for Boliqueime

The German supermarket group, Lidl, has opened a new store in Boliqueime, its 15th in the Algarve.

The new store will employ 23 people, bringing the total to 370 in the region.

The opening ceremony was attended by Nélson Brazão, the President of Boliqueime parish Council.

The new store was built with the environment in mind, with low-energy equipment and LED lighting to reduce the ecological footprint of the ​​1,400 m2 space.

To commemorate the store opening, goods were donated to two local charities: Centro Social e Comunitário de Vale Silves and the Irmandade da Santa Casa de Boliqueime.

The Lidl store for Boliqueime is located at Av. Professor Aníbal Cavaco Silva and is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Lidl has been in Portugal for more than 20 years and has over 250 stores in the country.

Quoting Maxwell:

maybe an entire commercial centre - are paid by Brussels as structural funds. Unlike in the UK where the intending supermarket must factor in these indirect expenses as well!

How on does a small piece of Portuguese Territory like the Algarve have more supermarkets than quality tourism attractions?

Lidl will soon get its money back, even assuming all the 8m euros was from their pockets. Usually in Portugal the carrot is that all the connecting infrastructure - utilities, roads and roundabouts - maybe an entire commercial centre - are paid by Brussels as structural funds. Unlike in the UK where the intending supermarket must factor in these indirect expenses as well!
